I depend on sol-lunar tables early in the hunting season because they have proven to me that they are fairly accurate. However, once the cold fronts start to hit, I more or less ignore them. Today was fairly mild with no fronts and no high-pressure systems. I looked at the tables on my GPS and it said the major feed was between 4:58 and 6:58 AM.
I went hog hunting and saw a squirrel at 7:00 but, except for jumping 2 wood ducks, saw nothing else until 9:30 when I saw 4 deer moving through the woods. According to the tables they should have been bedded down.
No hogs were encountered but they tend to be nocturnal in areas where they are hunted.
In the Winter most deer movement is just before and just after a front moves through. The day after a front comes through is high pressure with wind from the north or northwest and not a cloud in the sky. I have learned to stay in bed on those mornings.
